No IL thing that we know of
would more certainly add to the per-
manent prosperity of Lexington h
natural gas. 1t is not only that il is a
great convenience in heating dwelling
houses, being easy to use and very
clearly, but it is much cheaper than
coal in all manufactures, even to the
smelling, rolling and forging of iron
and steel. 1t gives the town that pos
sesses it great advantage over other
places that do not have it. The devel-
opment of gas wells here would insure
the quadrupling of our population in a
very short time, and a very great en-
hancement in the value of our property.
OF course there is no certainty that it
we were to bore for gas we would OBJ
tain it. There are risks even in ordi-
nary mercantile or manufacturing EN-
terprises. In this matter it is unneces-
sary that any II person should VEN
ture much. 1t is a case in which the
value of cooperation should be demon
strated. There is every reason to be-
lieve that gas can be developed here.
The conditions are similar to those ex-
listing in Pennsylvania and Indiana
where gas has been found. The mere
fact that the effort is made will be of
advantage in many ways. The time is
suspicious to put Lexington in the fore
front of those towns which are taking
the hint given them by Poor Richard
and helping themselves. We hope the
matter will soon be formulated II
carried to a successful issue.

The lower house of the legislature

for the comittee bill, with amendments
placed upon it by the friends OF legisla-

Kansas City Public Press:-"The
idea of returning the flags, it seems, is
a chestnut. 1t was entertained not on

serve them. When Mr.. Lincoln was
secretary of war it was determined to
send them back to the states, aud it is
said that it was only by the interposi-
ton of Congressman Boutelle that their
return Was prevented. During all this
time no question about lawful authori-
ity TO return them was raised.'

The Washington correspondent OF
the Republican writes under date OF
,June 25:-"SenatOrs COckrell and Vest
made their call on Postmaster-General
Villas TO good purpose yesterday. Two
of the Missouri candidates for appoint
as postal inspectors were to-day
notified of their selection-Mr. Benja-
min Stickney, of St. Louis, and Mr..
Joe P. johnson of Plattsburg, Mo.
Mr.. Johnson was formerly the editor OF
the P%lattsbufg Democrat. and Is the
recording secretary and historian OF
the Missouri Press Association. He
has recently been a clerk in the office OF
the secretary of state at Jefferson City.
AS Missouri got two of the twenty
eight appointments made to-day and
will now have five representatives on
the force of inspectors. the state Ger
tainly has no occasion to complain of
bad.treatment. Mr.. johnson left for st.
Louis this evening, but Mr.. %Stickney,
having arranged his business affairs
before leaving home, will remain here
until the new appointments go into
effect, on July l.. None of the new
inspectors have yet received assign
ments tor duty, but the two Missourians
will almost certainly be sent TO some
portion of the west, and probably into
the district which has its headquarters
at St. Louis. This is one of the largest
and most important districts in the
country, comprising the states OF Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Arkansas and Ken
lucky and the Indian territory. The
force now in the district is scarcely
large enough, so that an additional de-
tail is pretty cure to be made, and
Messrs. Stickney and johnson are hope
full they will be given duty which will

KNOCK HIM DOWN.

The Philadelphia Inquirer says !:
"lf a mai points an unloaded gun at
you knock him down Immediately"
This is excellent advice and we trust
it will be universally followed. In
Georgia and 10 several other States,
1t is a misdemeanor to point a dead
~ weapon at a person. Such should
be the law everywhere. But every
man should be a law unto himself 10
TINS matter. 1t is perfectly right to
resent such practical jokes as are
played with firearms, whether they
be loaded or un!oaded These silly
tricks do not always end fatally, but
they constitute ample provocation
for a square knock down. When
you tind yourself face 10 face with a
man who insists on "playing With
you" in this anu dopt stop to
argue with him. Knock Him down.

Yes, quietly by my window
Thinking of other years;
My heart IS sad and lonely,
And my eyes are full Of tears.
For I see with a glance of memory
The faces | used to love,
Like stars that are set in heaven,
And shineth SO far above.
1t seem TO me, as years roll on.
That those days of my past life
Come more wildly before me,
To cheer in this worlds strife.
Like a messenger sent from heaven,
1he scenes ofthose dear times,
awake in my heart an echo,
Like the ring OF village chimes.
Oh !. thou who seest our feelings,
And knowest how frail we are,
Guide US by thy Great Spirit
And teach us to love thee more
And when the battles ended,
Upheld by thy great love,
Nav we ascend to heaven,
And dwell with thee above.
